Chuck Johnson
Chuck Johnson is a multi-faceted artist with work ranging from sign and mural painting to photography and videography. His work is heavily influenced from his time growing up in the North Carolina punk rock and skateboarding communities, leading him to opportunities to travel the world working with bands for photography, videography, lighting design, and merchandising. Johnson has painted numerous buildings across North Carolina and the United States, with commissions ranging from environmental graphics for Wrangler to community murals.
